French Third Republic/1919%e2%80%931939

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or republic:

    The third day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Three French hens,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 8–10)

    While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
